Socket closed exception [duplicate]

Question

I wrote a simple server and client example as below .

Client :

• Open a connection
• Get outputstream , write to stream and close the output stream

• Get inputstream and read from the stream. Getting exception at this point

  public class DateServer {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
  ServerSocket serverSocket = null;
  Socket client = null;
  try {
      serverSocket = new ServerSocket(6013);
      while (true) {
          client = serverSocket.accept();
          OutputStream outputStream = client.getOutputStream();
          InputStream inputStream = client.getInputStream();
  
          System.out.println("" + outputStream + "-" + inputStream);
  
          BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(
                  new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
  
          String line = null;
          while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
              System.out
                      .println("Message recieved from client ::" + line);
          }
  
          PrintWriter printWriter = new PrintWriter(outputStream, true);
  
          printWriter.println(new java.util.Date().toString());
  
          client.close();
      }
  } catch (IOException exception) {
      exception.printStackTrace();
      System.err.println(exception);
  }
      }
  
      }
  

Client :

    public class DateClient {

public static void main(String[] args) throws UnknownHostException,
        IOException, InterruptedException {
    Socket sock = new Socket("127.0.0.1", 6013);
    OutputStream outputStream = sock.getOutputStream();
    InputStream inputStream = sock.getInputStream();

    System.out.println("" + outputStream + "-" + inputStream);

    PrintWriter printWriter = new PrintWriter(outputStream, true);
    printWriter.println("Hi Server");

    outputStream.close();

    System.out.println(sock.isConnected());

    BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(
            new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
    String line;
    while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) { // Exception 
        System.out.println(line);
    }

}

}

Getting below socket closed exception in Client . Could you please let me know what would be the reason.

Answer 1

java.net.SocketException socket is closed This exception means that you closed the socket, and then continued to try to use it.

os.close();

And you closed it here. Closing either the input or the output stream of a Socket closes the other stream and the Socket.
